We'll try to get more frequent about these posts. Our schedule is so unpredictable that a week flies by before we know it. We spent the weekend at the Cape. Again, we are so lucky to have such generous friends, the Shays. Enjoyed the beach and the boat. I don't think they realize how much it means to us to have the opportunity to get Olivia out doing normal summer activities.
The Pan Mass Challenge also took place this past weekend. Jack made it to the finish!!! We never doubted him for a minute of course. Amazingly one of Olivia's doctors at Dana Farber spotted him on his bike and rode up to him to tell him who he was and to wish Olivia well. The doctor was on the team who initially reviewed her case, but was about to go off on another assignment. We clearly remember him because he did such a good job of dispelling the myths that Olivia had about cancer. Here are pictures of Jack, Day 2 (sign made by Zoe, 9 yrs.) and the Finish. Thanks Jack, Pat, and Zoe for all the support!
Congrats to Jack on finishing the race! And I love Zoe's sign!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad things are progressing well for you guys and so appreciated this post as a reminder of why I love and am going to miss the Summit community so much!
How many miles did he bike? Sorry my computer has been down and haven't been able to post. Computer at work as Blocks on it and Jake and I mowed over the cable at home... No dial tone for a week. Lots of love and Olivia let me know if you want more scarves. Love you

Jane and Jim Burke are thinking about you and praying for you Olivis. Your grandparents, Nancy and Robbe are dear friends of ours for a lot of years. We have a little miracle we would like to share with you. Our daughter Traci will be 40 in November. She was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 4. She went through chemo and radiation for a couple of years and than oral meds for 3 years. She has been healthy and has had no reacurrance since. She graduated from college where she met the love of her life and has been married for 15 years and has 2 beautiful little girls, Jane 12 and Catherine 8.Wanted to share her stoy with you. God bless you and we are praying as we did for Traci to St. Ann. We took Traci to the shrine in Isle la Monte and from that day she started her recovery. We will be thinking of you and will be touch with your grandparents to follow your recovery.....Much Love from the Burke family.
